Musk calls the French prosecutors investigating the social network X "mentally behind"

Elon Musk reacted vehemently to the accusations from prosecutors in Paris, who pointed out a possible "artificial evaluation" of the social network X and his artificial intelligence start-up, xAI. In a post on X, Musk labeled the prosecutors as "mentally backward," in the context of an investigation targeting the use of the platform's algorithm to intervene in French politics and generate deepfakes with sexual content. French authorities are also investigating the possible manipulation of the value of these companies before their stock market listing in 2026. The Grok chatbot, developed by xAI, has generated millions of sexualized images, and Musk has been accused of inciting the generation of non-consensual content. Similar investigations have been initiated in the United Kingdom and the European Union, while Musk has denounced the actions of the authorities as a "political attack."
